<p>I think St. Annes is my all time favourite place to bring the kids on Dublin Northside.&nbsp; Its huge&nbsp; - lots of it is flat so its a wonderful place to teach kids how to ride a bike or rollerskate.&nbsp; The playground is aimed at the under 7s, but there are lots of stationary wooden figures in it such as a massive Viking ship, plane, train, horses etc which even the slightly older kids get a kick out of. Outside the playground there is a purpose built picnic area which tends to be busy at all times of year filled with parents &amp; minders braving the insane Irish weather.</p>

<p>In the last couple of years the park has added a massive climbing frame,&nbsp;zip-line and enormous swinging moustache&nbsp;for the bigger kids.</p>

<p>ON Saturdays there is a farmers market in the park, where you can get all sorts of food, plants etc etc.&nbsp; There is also a caf&eacute; in the Red Stables and the food is pretty tasty&nbsp; &amp; not heavily processed - I can recommend their soup.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Have fun and enjoy.</p>
